"There is something mildly humorous about the City + the City Planning Commission Chair referring to MIH as a progressive affordable housing program. Admittedly, it is humour tinged with a bit of cruelty; kind of like when you’re bald and someone calls you curly." #savesoho

[Renée Monrose @Binx1970]

CITY COUNCIL + HOUSING ADVOCATES HAVE BEEN DUPED! WAKE UP BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE. THE CITY COUNCIL VOTE IS IN NOV. TELL YOUR COUNCILMEMBER + @CM_MargaretChin TO SAY "NO" TO THE SOHO-NOHO-CHINATOWN PLAN. #savesoho #ChinatownNotForSale @BwayResSoHo1 @SaveSoHoNoHo2

[#DEFUNDDEVELOPERS #OCCUPYGOWANUS @DGowanus]

NYC: Except in GOWANUS, I mean! If there's another flash flood in Gowanus, and another death, you're on your own!! I've got a rezone to push (Thanks, REBNY!) and I am ignoring the EPA to get it done! Because everything is under Comptroll! Stay wet!

"According to MAS, the two neighborhoods, Long Island City and Downtown Brooklyn, are now “whiter, wealthier, and more crowded than ever....Sadly, the city never looks back Those unacknowledged facts have no impact whatsoever on the next set of false promises."

Yesterday evening, I tested positive for COVID-19. While I am fully vaccinated and have taken all CDC recommended safety precautions, I unfortunately contracted the virus. I am experiencing symptoms and isolating at home per CDC guidelines.

Not one unit of affordable housing guaranteed under the proposed DCP plan. Commissioners do not understand why MIH will not work in SoHo!

🚩RT if you believe public land should remain permanently as a public good and never be sold off to for profit developers 👏👏👏

[SaveSoHoNoHo @SaveSoHoNoHo2]

A neighbor, after the @NYCPlanning vote today: “I have never previously seen up close government defrauding people with this degree of clarity, when we see every moving part, and yet, no one wants to admit the nature of what is really going on. It is remarkably disappointing.”

@tfine @NYCMayor @BilldeBlasio Drop a dime on them.

[Inwood Legal Action @InwoodLegal]

@fuelgrannie @SaveSoHoNoHo2 @jennifer_romine @OpenNYForAll @willthomas_usa They may be vulnerable to a legal challenge.

“The city’s Uniform Land-Use Review Process is a compartmentalized timeline where the community speaks first and city council last. But in this suspense driven, politically charged ULURP, the timeline has been disrupted by both city officials and electeds. https://t.co/gRTPNYEXd9

Upzoning = displacement!
Instead use a zone text amendment. Housing and retail as of right, Actual affordable housing. No racial injustice towards Asian Americans!
@galeabrewer @CM_MargaretChin

[Renée Monrose @Binx1970]

@galeabrewer If you believe in fighting discrimination against Asians & Asian-Americans, then call out DCP’s Upzoning of SoHo-NoHo-Chinatown. It will displace 100s of senior Chinese & Asian Americans in rent-stabilized housing. DCP doesn’t even call it Chinatown. They call it SoHo East!!

Attn: #INWOOD, please spread the word to your friends, family, co-workers & neighbors to let them know NYC’s #VaccineBus will arrive tomorrow Monday thru Thursday, 8/30 - 9/2/21 to offer walk-in, no appt, Pfizer 1st or 2nd vaccinations on W 207th St btwn Sherman & Post Aves! 💪🏼💉

[sabrina ❀ ୨୧⋆୨୧ ⁺‧♡ᥫ᭡⋆⁺✰❀ @matrixgoth]

there’s no consensus in the “literature” about measuring displacement but that doesn’t mean i’m gonna ignore millions of lived experiences of race & class tensions that have been exacerbated by state-sponsored gentrification

When will enough be enough with the victim-blaming and smears, @CarlHeastie?
